*I’ve just filed a bug *
(Bug: Nested headers and hidden columns highlight the next column · Issue #6881 · handsontable/handsontable · GitHub),
but also would like to ask for some workaround here
It seems there is a mistake in the algorithm of using multiple nested headers and hiding some of them. When to select some of the columns via clicking in the header - it highlight also next parent children
Steps to reproduce:
- Add 3 levels of nested headers
- Add not the last columns in the parent children (3-rd layer) as hidden
- Click on the 2-nd layer and see: the next column is highlighted too

Hi @nikemax2007
As Aleksandra said in your Github issue We have already discussed this subject here #6879 and will fix that issue in the second stage.
.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any workaround.
I suppose, we have to wait to fix this issue.
